Experienced Assistant Director Early Childhood Education

Program Assistant Director

Hi! My name is Katie, and I'm the Director for Thrive Reunion, a swiftly growing organization devoted to providing exceptional play-based learning experiences for young children and cultivating a better humanity for all. We're looking for a highly qualified Program Assistant Director to work with our incredible team of educators!

Thrive is a nurturing and supportive community of early childhood professionals that are passionate about the importance of, and interplay between, play and discovery. We currently have five schools where we are creating a thriving community for children, families and educators with exciting advancement opportunities (yes, even for assistant directors!) and a focus on personal and professional growth.

We are looking to hire a full-time program assistant director (Monday-Friday, 8 hours / day) for a salaried position making $50,000 to $55,000 per year, plus extensive benefits.

We have strong beliefs about maintaining harmony between work and life for all our staff, and those beliefs drive the benefits we offer.

We believe that time is our most valuable resource :

• Over 5 weeks of paid holidays and breaks (you can visit our website, thrivepreschool.com, to see a sample school year calendar)
• 80 hours of paid time off each year in addition to the regular school holidays and breaks

We believe in caring for others now and into the distant future :

We believe the best environment for learning is one built around the community :

We believe every human being has the right to continued personal and professional growth :

Compatibility means everything to us. If you are dedicated to the future of our children, thrive when managing and supporting others, and believe in the power of play-based learning, you're probably in the right place. But let's get the usual qualifications out of the way first.

Just to make sure we're on the same page, let's start with the basics :

If you're interested in providing a brighter future for our children, please don't hesitate another moment in reaching out! When we find the right person to join our community, we always wish we could have had you with us from the very beginning, but we'll have to settle for the joy of having you now and growing with you for many years to come. Any questions? Of course, go ahead and ask. That's what we're here for. That's what we're all here for : to question.

Sincerely,

Katie O'Connell

Director, Thrive Reunion
